After the New Year, Songyi City was extremely lively and regained some of its former prosperity.
The poor people visit relatives and friends and have a poor year, while the rich people eat, drink, go shopping and have fun.
Lin Zheyu spent most of his time in the yard practicing martial arts, reading, and studying the "Poison Code".
Occasionally, Jia Yanyong and others would come to his door and ask him to go out for fun, and he would go out and play.
In the past few days, the study and research on the poison code has been very slow.
Lin Zheyu spent more than twenty taels of silver to buy a lot of medicinal materials from the Poison Codex and come back to study them.
Last time he went to the black market and received more than two hundred taels of silver, his savings reached 364 taels, which was enough to last for a while.
Three days passed in a flash.
Early morning.
Lin Zheyu got up early and finished practicing the Turtle Breathing Technique. As usual, he sat in the yard and studied the "Poison Code".
There are various poisons and poison powders on the table.
More than an hour later, there was a knock on the door in the yard.
Dong dong dong
"Who would come looking for me so early?" Lin Zheyu was surprised.
Collect the "Poison Book" and put it in a secret compartment in the house, put away the poison and poison powder on the table, use the Turtle Breathing Technique to cover up the breath, and then walked over to open the door.
Outside the house is a man wearing a servant's costume.
The man respectfully handed over an invitation: "Mr. Lin, this is your invitation. Mr. Xu invites you to come to Funing Garden for a gathering in the afternoon."
"Okay."
Lin Zheyu accepted the invitation.
The invitation was sent by Xu Qinyi, saying that he had made an appointment with a few friends to gather in Funing Garden.
"You're not going to bring Xu Yuxiang and me together again, are you?"
Lin Zheyu secretly thought that he had no idea about Xu Yuxiang, and he would just refuse when the time comes.
Put away the invitation and continue to study the "Poison Code".
……
Afternoon.
Funing Garden, Xinghua Garden.
Xu Yuxiang and Ren Qingying were sitting next to the rockery.
"Yuxiang, Mr. Lin is a talented person and has excellent martial arts talent. Why don't you like him?" Ren Qingying asked curiously.
She and Xu Yuxiang are good sisters, and they have a very good relationship on weekdays.
"What's so good about him is that he doesn't look as good as Mr. Chen Xiqiang, his strength is only in the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm, and he has no family background."
"What's the use of having high talent? Can it be used as food?"
"The rebel army may attack in a few months. Is it possible that he can reach the level of Zang Refining Realm in a few months?"
Xu Yuxiang snorted and said: "If he can really cultivate to the Zang Refining Realm in such a short time, then I can consider marrying him."
After the last time, she was severely punished by her father and second uncle, and she was called to the party again this time, which made her very unhappy, but she couldn't refuse.
"You have such beautiful thoughts, how could such a good thing happen."
"Not to mention a few months, a year, if he can cultivate to the level of Zang Refining in one year, this kind of talent is simply unimaginable."
"With such an amazing talent, no matter what kind of woman can't get it, it's your turn." Ren Qingying said with a smile.
She has a good impression of Lin Zheyu, who speaks politely and modestly.
Although she has no family background, it doesn't matter. As a direct descendant of the Ren family, she has never lacked these.
"Sister Qingying, why do you always speak for him? Are you attracted to him?" Xu Yuxiang blinked and looked at Ren Qingying.
"No, I just think this person is pretty good, I don't really like him." Ren Qingying shook her head.
"Sister Qingying, isn't there a martial arts competition in the afternoon? Cousin Qinyi and the others plan to test Mr. Lin's martial arts progress, so I arranged for someone to give him a surprise, hehe."
Xu Yuxiang laughed and said with a very proud face.
She wants to embarrass that guy. Don't you claim to be extremely talented? If you lose too quickly and easily, you won't be able to show off your face.
"It's nonsense. If your father and Gang Leader Xu find out, they will teach you a lesson again." Ren Qingying said.
"It's not nonsense. How can it be considered nonsense if we compete normally?" Xu Yuxiang said nonchalantly.
The two of them strolled in Xinghua Garden, admiring flowers and gossiping.
Small gatherings are often held among the young masters of aristocratic families.
Some will invite a troupe to sing and entertain, while others will play small games, drink and eat meat among friends.
Lin Zheyu came to Funing Garden. There were not many people there, including Xu Qinyi, Xu Yuxiang and Ren Qingying.
After three rounds of drinking.
Xu Qinyi suggested: "Brother Lin, I have known you for so long, but I have never seen your strength. Let's compare!"
"Okay!"
Lin Zheyu nodded.
He knew that this was to test his own strength, to see how his strength was progressing, and whether he was really as talented as they judged.
"It's finally starting!"
Xu Yuxiang on the side was very excited. She had been waiting for this link for a long time.
Before Xu Qinyi and others could continue talking, she spoke: "They say Mr. Lin is extremely talented and powerful. This little girl has long wanted to see him."
"I have a cousin who is just fifteen years old after the Chinese New Year. Young Master Xiaolin is two years old, but his strength has reached the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm and his actual combat ability is outstanding."
"I wonder if Mr. Lin dares to spar with him?"
Xu Yuxiang said with a smile, speaking politely and politely, like a lady.
From the moment they met today, she behaved like Ren Qingying, smiling the whole time and not embarrassing Lin Zheyu, which surprised him.
‘So we’re waiting here!’ Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
"Do you want Chen Mu to take action?"
Xu Qinyi asked, seeing Xu Yuxiang smiling and nodding, she couldn't help scolding: "Nonsense!"
"It's all a competition. Mr. Lin is two years older than Cousin Chen, so why not let him take action? Is it possible that this Mr. Lin is just an illusion, a silver pewter gun head?"
Xu Yuxiang asked with a smile, her words full of sarcasm, wanting to provoke Lin Zheyu to take action.
"You called cousin Chen Mu here too!" Chen Xihong said in shock.
Chen Mu is a member of the Chen family, and Xu Yuxiang's mother is his aunt. It is not unusual for the three aristocratic families of the Feihong Gang to marry each other.
When it comes to martial arts talent, Chen Mu is a step ahead of Chen Xihong.
But his craziness in martial arts training makes Chen Xihong frightened. He is simply a pervert.
Not only that, Chen Mu was also a warlike madman. At the age of twelve, he used his family connections to join the city guard army, and followed the army to fight with the bandits outside the city. He was extremely warlike and killed.
At such a young age, he has developed a terrifying murderous aura, which makes even him a little scared when facing him.
The elders in the family are very optimistic about Chen Mu, thinking that if he does not die young, he may have the opportunity to touch the realm of practicing in the future.
"Who is this Chen Mu?"
Lin Zheyu asked Ren Qingfeng in a low voice.
Seeing the reactions of several people, he was a little curious. It seemed that this guy was extremely extraordinary.
"The fighting maniacs of the Chen family are the kind who fight to the death."
"If you fight with him, you have to be prepared for serious injuries. No one among your peers is willing to spar with him." Ren Qingfeng said.
He had seen Chen Mu fight with people many times. The pleasure of punching to the flesh, the bravery, and the desperate fighting style made his blood boil.
But that's all. It would be absolutely impossible for him to fight Chen Mu.
This guy is a personal ferocious beast. Although he is in the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm, many warriors who have just been promoted to the early Zang Refining Realm are no match for him.
"Is Mr. Lin afraid?"
"It's right to be afraid. After all, not everyone has the courage to fight against my cousin. Mr. Lin is probably afraid of losing too ugly!"
Xu Yuxiang smiled sweetly, feeling very proud.
These days, every time I think about marrying a poor boy with no family background, I feel very unhappy.
But no one dares to violate Uncle Xu’s arrangements.
She acted a little bit last time and was punished by Uncle Xu and her parents after she returned home.
"Nonsense!"
"Brother Lin is a scholar and has only practiced martial arts for a few months. No matter how talented he is, his martial arts progress will only be faster."
"He doesn't have much actual combat experience, how can he compare with Chen Mu who has practiced martial arts for several years and fought in the army for three years!" Xu Qinyi scolded.
There are so many things to pay attention to when comparing martial arts, but this Chen Mu is the least particular person. When he fights with others, it is a battle of life and death.
His attacks are extremely vicious, and they can kill people, and there is no such thing as stopping at the point.
"Martial arts must be fought. Wen Wu is the first, and martial arts is not the second. I didn't expect Mr. Lin to dare not accept the challenge. He is such a coward. It is really disappointing."
An energetic voice sounded, and a young man slowly walked out of the corridor.
This is a strong young man with more than a dozen large and small scars on his exposed skin.
The aura of youth is extremely sharp, as if a sword is unsheathed and its edge is exposed.
"I heard that Gang Leader Xu has found a good martial arts talent. I was still a little curious, but I was quite disappointed when I saw him today."
"On the journey of martial arts, you must forge ahead with determination, gain insights in life-and-death battles, verify your martial arts in bloody battles, and fight your way out."
"If Brother Lin doesn't even dare to spar with me, then he will be so scared that he wets his pants when he goes to the battlefield and faces a real life-and-death fight."
"I'm afraid I won't achieve much in the future."
Chen Mu said lightly.
He didn't hide his aura, and he was full of energy and sharpness. Just standing there gave people a strong sense of oppression.
He is here to stand up for Xu Yuxiang this time.
Xu Yuxiang’s mother is Chen Mu’s father’s sister.
Their family belongs to the lower-middle class in the Chen family branch.
If Xu Yuxiang's mother hadn't been beautiful and married into the Xu family, their family's status would have been even lower.
Later, as Chen Mu gradually rose to prominence, their family's status improved.
Chen Mu hates marriage. His mother was married to the Ren family, and Xu Yuxiang's mother was married to the Chen family. Neither of them lived happily.
Now her cousin said that she would become a victim of marriage and marry a poor boy, and wanted him to teach her a lesson, so Chen Mu rushed over.
The internal competition within the family is also extremely fierce. Given the current situation of the Chen Mu family, they did not receive many resources.
Many of Chen Mu's initial martial arts training resources came from support from his aunt, Xu Yuxiang's mother.
Chen Mu must help with this task.
"Don't be rude. This is a friend invited by Brother Xu. Don't be so rude." Seeing something was wrong, Chen Xihong hurriedly scolded.
"Ha!"
Chen Mu glanced at him coldly and didn't take him seriously.
In his opinion, most of the young masters in Songyicheng are trash. They don't have the strength to fight through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and they are all superficial.
Lin Zheyu's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly when he saw the person coming.
Potential!
He sensed the existence of ‘power’ from the young man in front of him.
The meaning of this 'moment' is somewhat similar to that of his fists, but it is more bloody and blends into the murderous aura of fighting in the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses.
In Songyicheng for so long, this is the first warrior Lin Zheyu has encountered who has bred power in his body, and he is still so young.
"What Young Master Chen Mu said does make some sense. Since you want to fight, let me fight with you a few times." Lin Zheyu said aloud.
The momentum on the other side made him want to fight and experience it for himself.
The strength of Manniu Boxing has reached its bottleneck. It has not improved at all during this period of time, and it always feels like something is missing.
There are some similarities between Chen Mu's momentum and Manniu Fist's momentum. It may be enlightening to compete with them.
‘Position’ is extremely important to warriors.
‘Shi’ is the prototype of ‘Yi’, and ‘Yi’ is the basis for promoting energy.
‘Ideology’ depends on one’s own understanding.
If the meaning of "meaning" is incorporated into the exercise, if you don't have enough understanding, you won't be able to understand it, and you won't even be able to practice the exercise.
A large number of marrow training warriors are stuck in a bottleneck and have been unable to advance to the realm of energy transformation because they have not understood the 'intention'.
"Brother Lin, no!"
Xu Qinyi said: "Chen Mu's attacks are not serious. Those who fight with him are not injured or disabled. You have not been practicing martial arts for a long time and do not have much practical experience. It is best not to fight with him."
"A bunch of cowardly trash!" Chen Mu said coldly.
"It's okay. I'm good at Qinggong. If you can't beat me, it's okay to escape." Lin Zheyu said.
He took off his coat, walked to the open space, and looked at Chen Mu.
"Master Chen Mu, take action. I also want to ask for advice from you!"
Lin Zheyu was filled with fighting spirit and said to Chen Mu.
"Alas..."
Xu Qinyi and the others sighed and couldn't help but worry about Lin Zheyu.
Lin Zheyu was afraid that he would not be able to get along with someone as vicious as Chen Mu, and at least a few bones would be broken.
When Xu Yuxiang saw that Lin Zheyu actually accepted the challenge, she was extremely excited and prepared to witness the scene of Lin Zheyu being beaten violently by her cousin.
She knows how powerful her cousin is.
Among the children of the aristocratic family, some young masters who were new to Zang Zang training were beaten on the ground by their cousins.
"Courageous enough!"
Chen Mu chuckled.
He took off his coat, revealing his muscles that were as strong as rocks.
Lin Zheyu is a person Xu Jingwu values and is a member of the Feihong Gang.
Although his attacks are not serious, he will still be restrained and will not be disabled. At most, the opponent will break a few bones and suffer.
"Brother Lin, be careful. What Chen Mu is practicing is my Chen family's Mad War Technique. Fighting is used to build momentum. The momentum will gradually increase with the battle."
"When the momentum reaches its peak, it will arouse the murderous thoughts in the heart and make the person want to kill uncontrollably."
"The battle with Chen Mu must end as soon as possible. If the situation is not good, don't get into a protracted battle, retreat immediately, admit defeat and end the battle!"
Chen Xihong reminded him aloud.
The Mad War Technique is one of the ancestral techniques of the Chen family. It requires extremely high levels of understanding on the part of the practitioner, and few people in the Chen family can master it.
There have been several generations of descendants of the Chen family, but no one has succeeded in cultivation, until Chen Mu, a fighting madman and a ferocious humanoid beast, appeared.
"Thank you Mr. Chen for reminding me, I will be careful." Lin Zheyu responded.
After hearing Chen Xihong's reminder, he understood why Chen Mu's murderous intention was so strong.
The Mad War Technique is a skill that was born out of the battlefield. If you want to improve quickly, joining the army and constantly fighting is the best way.
This Chen Mu joined the army at a young age. With his warlike temperament, he experienced hundreds of life-and-death battles, large and small, in the past few years, and developed a murderous aura.
"Let's start, I'll give you three moves."
Chen Mu said lightly.
The words are full of invincible self-confidence, which is accumulated from fighting.
"No need, my strength is not as weak as you think. Go with all your strength, I am very interested in your 'power'." Lin Zheyu said.
"Oh?"
"In that case, I won't be polite!"
Chen Mu moved and rushed towards Lin Zheyu, a terrifying aura surged from his body.
This momentum is full of chilling and bloodshed, as well as the strong self-confidence and invincible belief emerging from fighting in the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
This belief in invincibility is somewhat similar to Lin Zheyu's boxing skills that he learned from Man Bull Boxing.
But fundamentally, they are different.
"So strong. I didn't expect Chen Mu to understand the 'power' of the Mad War Technique to this extent. It's really amazing!"
Chen Xihong felt the aura erupting from Chen Mu and was slightly shocked.
Chen Mu's basic understanding is actually not very good, but his madness and ruthlessness from the bottom of his heart are very suitable for the mad battle technique, and he can practice it very quickly.
"Brother Lin, something is wrong." Ren Qingfeng frowned slightly.
"I'm going to ask Uncle Fourteen to come over, otherwise cousin Chen Mu will go crazy later and no one can stop him."
Seeing that cousin Chen Mu had aroused a terrifying momentum from the beginning and looked like he was going all out, Xu Yuxiang was a little worried, fearing that something might go wrong accidentally.
Chen Mu has a reputation for being vicious, and his attacks are extremely brutal.
Although she was the one who started the incident, she just wanted to teach Lin Zheyu a lesson and vent her anger.
If you really think about it, there is no grudge between her and Lin Zheyu. Everything is due to her coming from a wealthy family and she cannot blame Lin Zheyu.
